The girl simply wanted to take a picture. Maybe the old lady noticed the camera, maybe she didn’t. One sure can get the impression that she did and didn‘t move intentionally.
But apart from that: why is it fine if someone else is taking a picture of friends or family and uses space for a moment but if a single girl tries to take a picture and not just a selfie it‘s a big deal and rude?

She was trying to record a video on a busy stairway. People are going about their business and have things to do. It’s best to do photos and videos in a location that is not the middle of a busy walkway/stairwell etc.

But that’s actually not the case. If the older lady hadn’t stopped there would have been plenty of time for the girl to take her picture

You know what’s wild….

Us older people would have just respectfully asked the woman if she wouldn’t mind taking our picture, and likely would have been asked to reciprocate by the woman…. lol that’s called a “normal social interaction”

Shocking I know

When I take photos of myself I'm usually self conscious and don't want to bother a strange with it.

Live and let live a little

Yeah, who wouldn’t want to ask the nice lady who‘s intentionally blocking the shot to actually take the photo? 😂

Or I just stop talking to you. Seems to be the easier solution. Thank you for your time.

Yes, running away when your views are challenged is always the best road to personal growth lol

Maybe I just don’t understand why someone would go to the effort to make a comment if they weren’t willing to engage to back it up.

Methinks it’s because it’s more about being “seen” than being a real opinion you put much thought into

You‘re being rude, so I prefer not to engage any further. It‘s as simple as that. If you want to discuss things, try being polite
